After 2 hours and 45 minutes later, I found myself at our lunch table munching on French fries.

"Anybody got any ideas to spend the weekend?" Ryan asked as he sipped his coke and everyone shrugged their shoulders.

"Nah, you have got any." I asked and he shook his head.

"What should we do?" Alicia asked as Chris kisses her temple and she smiled at him which he returned. I rolled my eyes

"Cut it out guys." Jake said clearly irritated from their PDA. She huffed and crossed her arms.

"Come on what should we do?" Aaron said and I looked at him, giving a secretive look to which he looked away. He was wearing a black jeans with a tight white t-shirt which showed of his muscles. His hair was styled in a messy yet stylish way which made me want to run my fingers through them.

"Luke is throwing a party tonight so let's attend that and on Friday we can just have sleepover at Aaron's house." Riley informed and we agreed.

"So it's decided tonight we will go to Luke's party." I nodded my head and the bell rang.

I took my books for my Chemistry class which I shared with Aaron. I couldn't talk to him properly this week and I kinda missed that, after our kiss we didn't talk much and I hope it didnt ruin our friendship. I was going to the class when someone pulled me into the janitors closet and slammed me onto the lockers. I looked up to see Megan glaring at me.

"Listen here bitch you stay away from Aaron. He's mine and don't you dare go near him then I will personally take care of you."

How dare she threaten me? Shaira Evans. I am going to kill her.

She was about to go when I pulled her bleached blonde hair and slammed her onto the lockers which caused them to rattle.

"You listen bitch, you don't go around ordering me. If I want I can finish you right here so I dare you to raise your voice at me." I tightened my hold around her throat and her face started to pale.

"I am going to hang around with whoever the fuck I want and you can't stop me from talking to them. Get that shit in your stupid head." I dropped her on the ground and she clutched her throat with her right hand trying to even out her breathing. I flipped my hair and walked away with my head held up high in the air.

No one fucking orders me if they want to see the daylight. Especially that bitch.

I opened the class door and walked at the back of the class and sat beside Aaron. I slammed my books on the desk which had dropped on the floor when that bitch pulled me. I was fuming with anger now and Aaron seemed to notice that as he took my hand and rubbed soothing circles on my knuckles which helped me calm down a bit. I gave him a 'tell you later' look and he nodded his head. The rest of the class he held my hand and rubbed circles and I maybe liked that. Ok I liked that - a lot. His hands were big and rough but still soft. It felt so right when he held my hand.

"So will you tell me what happened now?" He asked as we walked down the hall towards our lockers. The boys lockers were across ours.

"That Megan bitch thinks that she will threaten me and I will back out. She has the nerve to think like that. Fake Barbie." I spat out with venom laced in my voice. Aaron seemed to be surprised with my behaviour but still didn't say anything about it.

"What did she say?" I didn't want to tell him that she told me to stay away from him.

"Nothing just that I shouldn't hang out with you guys. Forget it, her words don't matter." His face was a mixture of confusion and anger. He wanted to say something but I raised my hand not wanting to talk about it right now.

The rest of class passed by and now I was on my way to my house. Let me love you by Justin Bieber blasting through the speakers.

Don't you give up nah nah nah

I won't give up nah nah nah

Let me love you

Let me love you....

I parked my car just when the song ended and took my bag, unlocking the door and got inside. I quickly showered and got dressed in a blue jeans with a white top which had 'I am the cutest person in the world' printed on it in black. I took my duffle bag which had the money that I earned from the fights inside it and picked up an Apple from the kitchen counter. I came out of the house to see Aaron locking his house door.

"Where are you going?" He asked walking towards me.

"A place. Where are you going?" I said not exactly wanting him to know where I was going.

"Just walking around can I come with you? If only you are comfortable." I reflected for a moment but eventually agreed. He smiled and we got in my baby.

I opened my door and got out with Aaron looking at the writing written on the board which hung on top of the entrance of the orphanage. Saint Mary orphanage. He threw me a look and I took his hand in mine and went inside to see kids playing around with each other, reading books or eating. I smiled looking at the kids and Aaron asked

"What are we doing here?"
We went inside the building and I turned right then left and finally reached the room that I was looking for.

"Hello." I greeted as Miss Elizabeth stood up from her seat and hugged me.

"Hi Shaira seeing you after a long time. How are you dear?" She kissed my forehead in a motherly manner. Elizabeth was an old lady who took care of this orphanage and was its owner. She was a kind and beautiful person with hazel eyes and white hair but still looked really pretty.

"I am fine , Elizabeth this is Aaron, my Friend." He greeted her and she smiled at him. I opened my purse and took out the money and handed it to Elizabeth.

"What is this?" She asked she unfolded the paper that i had wrapped the money in and gasped as she saw it.

"I saved money for the kids so that you can get new supplies for them." Her eyes glossed up with unshed tears and she hugged me which I gladly returned.

"Thank you so much dear I don't know what I would do without you and we really need to buy more supplies and food for the kids. But this is a large amount I can't take so much from you." She sniffed and gave me the money but I denied it.

"No I want to do something for them please take it, not for me but at least for the kids." I said and placed the money in her hand , she agreed this time and took it. Meanwhile, I completely forgot about Aaron and that he was listening to our conversation. I bid my goodbye to Elizabeth and turned to Aaron.

"Do you wanna see the kids?" I asked as we got out of the building. Before he could answer I heard my name being called. I turned to see Jack running in my direction.

"Hey Jack how are you?" I got on my knees and hugged him. He was one of the orphan children, his family died in a car accident and we both clicked in when I first met him which was a year ago. He had blonde hair with black eyes, his cheeks were chubby making him look awfully adorable.

"I am good I made a lot of new friends and why didn't you visit me. I thought you forgot me." He sadly exclaimed as he looked at the ground towards the end of his words.

"Sorry I have been a bit busy and how can I forget you. You are one of my best friends and best friends don't forget each other." His face lightened up and he kissed me on my cheek and ran away to play even before I could introduce him to Aaron. I laughed and stood up to see Aaron looking at with a smile on his face and his eyes filled with different types of emotions - happiness, pride and....love

"What?" He shook his head and we walked to my baby.

"So why do you come here?" He asked as we got inside.

"Because I like to spend time with them and help them." He nodded his head.

"How did you get the money?"

"By fighting."

"Fighting?"

"Yes. When I was young I always had a passion for fighting, I don't know why. So a year ago I started fighting and i got the money from there." He didn't question further, simply nodded his head and I started to drive back home. I don't know why but I felt like I could tell him, that I could trust him. Only the girls knew about me fighting and they didn't stop me cause they knew that it made me happy unless and until I got badly hurt which didn't happen till now.
